How to play Englishman In New York on ukulele
On ukulele, Englishman In New York comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 90 bpm, a medium pace, and it swings lightly. This arrangement is in B minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Swing the eighths and stay loose, leaving room for the jazzy offbeats.
